I should have been concerned when the shop handwrote the order on an order slip. I have no idea what the salesperson entered in their computer to the warehouse, but this is what the handwritten order slip showed: (2) 4SW, 3T w/adj w/fullwide top BostonWood did not meet the date that they told me the bookcases would be ready. While the bookcases were made of pine and 3/4 plywood as specified, the quality ol the workmanship was sloppy and left much to be desired. When I was told the bookcases were finally ready and I came to pick up the bookcases with a borrowed truck, they had built 2 bookcases with two separate top pieces that were each 46"5 " wide (or 93" total width). The four shelves that they gave me for the bookcases all have chipped edges on one side (like the saw blade that was used to cut was dull). When I mentioned this to the salesperson, he told me not to worry, the bookcase molding would hid the chips. When you look at the picture above, you will see that the bookcases have no molding to hide the chipped shelves. I now have two bookcases that are together 93" wide with a 2" space between each bookcase. I will either have to find someone to cut down each of the tops, so the two bookcases can fit in the area or design some kind of modification to span the two inch space between the bookcases. They did offer to hold the bookcases and redo the top piece, but as the order was already late, their offer was too little too late.
Description of Work: BostonWood advertises itself as a company that does the following: - All of our furniture is made from sustainably-harvested locally grown astern White Pine. - Made in the USA: Our company helps support your local economy. - Made to Order Furniture - We are always happy to modify dimensions of any furniture. - Need something specific? Bring in a drawing, sketch, or idea and we can help you design it. - Ask us about making your furniture look built in. I was looking for a bookcase to place above a mantel that is 92" wide, I came to Bostonwood with a drawing of what I was looking for: (2) 43" H x 45" W bookcases. I paid extra to have the following added to the order - Adjustable shelving - A solid top piece molding to combine the two side by side bookcases so the two bookcases look like one unit. I was told that I would have two bookcases similar to http://www.bostonwood.com/36x3t.jpg with a solid piece on top to tie the two bookcases together. I thought we had a mutual understanding as the salesperson told me to make sure I brought a large vehicle that could hold a 90" piece of furniture.
